Award-winning Kiwi comedian, podcaster, and improviser Guy Montgomery is set to bring his popular Guy Mont-Spelling Bee back to the stage for a live performance at the Palais Theatre on Monday 7 April as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Now a hit TV show on the ABC, the Guy Mont-Spelling Bee originated at the festival and returns after three consecutive years of sold-out shows. Montgomery will be joined by some of the biggest names from the festival as they face rounds of spelling challenges ranging from straightforward to mind-bendingly complex. The event promises to be both a hilarious and exasperating experience for participants, with plenty of entertainment for the audience.
Tickets for the Melbourne show go on sale to the public on Friday 29 November at 12pm local time. My Live Nation members can access presale tickets from 11am local time on Thursday 28 November until 12pm on Friday 29 November.
